The chapter 8 portfolio activity I decided to do was "Test Yourself."
In the first test, the Empathy Quotient, I scored a 57 which was above average. On the "Spot the Fake Smile" test I scored a 12 out of 20. I scored a 25 on the "Mind in Eyes Test". I enjoyed this activity because it makes you realize how empathetic you are. I really enjoyed watching the people and smile and having the challenge to decide if it was a real smile or a fake one! I found it really interesting how much you could determine a person's mood by the look in their eyes. When taking the "Spot a Fake Smile" test I look more at the eyes than the smile itself because Pink said that when you smile genuinly you use two muscles and the one that you don't use in a fake smile is the muscle around the eyes! When I was taking the test that had to do with looking at people's eyes I always had to pick between two of the adjectives that I didn't eliminate. After I got the results for that test and looked back at the correct answers I found myself saying "oh yeah!".
